2713638 - Item assignment date within a curricula does not change through Import Data

Symptom

The curricula had its assignment date updated through the Import Date feature, but the items' assignment date did not change as expected.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Learning

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Log into HCM > navigate to Learning Administration >
  2. At System Administration > System Management Tools > Import Data > Curricula Assignment > Action: Update >
  3. Upload the fulfilled file > Run the job >
  4. Note that the items' assignment date (that were assigned to users via curriculum) was not updated.

Cause

This is an expected behavior of the system as the assignment date is in line with when the item (from the curricula) was appropriately added to the users' Learning Plans. It means that any item that is added to the curricula after the assignment of the curricula itself to users will not have its assignment date update through the Import Data feature.

E.g.: Curriculum A contains the item 1, and gets assigned to the user 100. After that, the item 2 is added to the curriculum A. When updating the assignment data through Import Data, only the assignment date of item 1 changes. For item 2, the assignment date remains unchanged.

Resolution

To suggest a different system behavior, it would be possible to have an enhancement request created for it (as per KBA 2090228), where the Learning Product Management team can further review and assess the requested functionality to be considered in a future release.

In case the item within the curricula has a required date and it is affected because the assignment date was not updated, it would be possible to have the required date manually updated through the Learning admin side.

  1. At Learning Administration > People > Users >
  2. Search and access the desired user > at the Assigned Items tab, click on 'Edit' (the pencil icon) >
  3. Find the item to be edited >
  4. Change the required date through the "Required Date" field > click on 'Save'.

If there is a need to have the data related to the dates the items were added to the curricula and when the curricula was assigned to the users, the below queries are some examples that can be used to create a custom report:

  • select * from PH_QUAL_CPNT where QUAL_ID = 'curricula id' and ACTION = 'I';
  • select * from PH_STUD_QUAL where STUD_ID = 'user id' and ACTION = 'I';
